Question My Corsair H60 (2018) isn't fitting into my LGA1200 Motherboard. What am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone,
I'm in the middle of building a new PC here with all the parts right next to me. However, I'm having a hiccup where the mounting bracket isn't lining up with the holes in the motherboard. (It's close, but far enough that something is fishy), so I thought something must be wrong with my part choices. Every article I've read says that coolers supporting LGA115x sockets also support LGA1200 socket since the mounting hardware is identical.

The cooler I'm using is the Corsair H60 (2018). The motherboard is the MSI MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI ATX LGA1200 Motherboard. These parts ARE compatible, no? Am I doing something wrong?

Unless there's a remote chance that the H60 Newegg sent me is an older model. Even then, older models still supported LGA 1150 so it should work with LGA1200. Can anyone explain why my cooler isn't fitting? :/ Thanks...

OH OH! I got it! The little slidey things can be adjusted further than I thought. False alarm! You may delete this thread.

What cpu are you putting it on? I only ask as I use one too.

The H60 on a 10700?
Ehh... well, let us know how the thermals are.

I used the 2013 model on a 10 series 11600k OC to 4.9 using one fan on each side push/pull and thermals never got over 81 max lol. I've since got a lian li 360, but it surprised me.
